The Sphere of Music
January 29, 2017
Music’s art draws upon the scope and figure
Divined by thought behind high cosmic fires
Whose dancing lights glittering at nights, arrayed
Subordinate us to a more-than Solomon
His rule and compass
Darkness between the lights sets off a counterpoint
Inbuilt: colludes in harmonies revolving love’s display,
And fashioned off His hand who throws off Milky wheels
Of vastest shapes
So thus rough chaos subdues to curbed potentialities
By secret rules purloining of adroit designs
And stations wherefrom stately musicks follow low
From Divine Mind
Anthems let down, as Jacob’s ladder, lavish on the land
A golden currency, sacks full, poured out, lovely coined
By violence by those guys who by their passion bring
Their special gifts
Replete resources waylaid taken to inceptors hearts
Approved, arrived at, from Heaven’s melting riches
Introits, bourees, recitatives, forays
On stolen booties
Marked first of all as moving angel lips
By privvy interview first sought, discerned
Then learned, acclimatised, become one’s own
In earth’s less rare perfections, upon this lower abode,
Sweet presents sent abroad resove a routed heart
A Purcell, Otis Redding, capture, captivate
By music making moving tender strong felicity
Pose apects, star-projections, that might only alone
Our kindest, less-blessed ears, open and unfold
Their diatonic tears, matchess plasticities,
Chromatic imprecated aptitudes
Sing imputation’s pined come-ons to righteousness
Under the moon
